So I am not being as ambitious about this as I'd thought but I'm going to give it some time. 

The kids started back up at school yesterday and I felt a bit empty when I dropped them off.  I really enjoy having them around and I enjoyed how relaxing it was when we didn't have any obligations.

Now we're back in full force though for the month of January I won't be teaching piano lessons and come Feb. I'll only have two students.  It was time to downsize as my kids are starting to get more and more involved in activities outside of school.  

We're going to go play outside now before the sun goes down.  I'm most likely going to pull out the tetherball and hopefully beat Paul in another game.
